  • Amanda Carpenter: We Are Team Karen (Pence)

    Amanda Carpenter: We Are Team Karen (Pence)
    Jan 10 2025
    "Mother" Pence is owed an apology. She snubbed Trump so hard and so beautifully at Jimmy Carter's funeral—and wasn't about to make nice with the man who was all-in on Jan 6 rioters trying to lynch her husband. Meanwhile, the catturd crowd is mad at Amy Coney Barrett for not falling in line, and running off to Greenland while American neighborhoods are on fire is not America First. Plus, the risks of Trump dominating the battlespace with all the stupid stuff. Amanda Carpenter joins Tim Miller for the weekend pod.

  • Derek Thompson and Elizabeth Weil: The Trend Toward Solitude

    Derek Thompson and Elizabeth Weil: The Trend Toward Solitude
    Jan 9 2025
    Americans have been spending more time alone—and less time doing face-to-face socializing—than we have for at least 60 years. And our alone time is impacting the economy, our politics, and our personalities, particularly among young people. Meanwhile, the fires in Los Angeles are a heartbreaking reminder that the California landscape was meant to burn—and it will keep happening whether we like it or not. Plus, the mystery around the sister of Sam Altman.

    Derek Thompson and Liz Weil join Tim Miller.

  • Liam Donovan and Brendan Boyle: The Great Grift

    Liam Donovan and Brendan Boyle: The Great Grift
    Jan 8 2025
    Trump talked a lot more about Hannibal Lecter during the campaign than one of his actual top priorities: extending his 2017 tax cuts. With those $4.5 trillion in cuts set to expire by the end of the year, that's the first major item of business for congressional Republicans. But how they get paid for will affect people's lives. Tim takes a deep dive into the reconciliation process that would allow Republicans to make deep cuts to programs without having to work with Democrats. Plus, the billionaire plutocrats staffing the new administration and the potential for corruption.

    Rep. Brendan Boyle and Liam Donovan join Tim Miller.
